We are dedicated to reducing health disparities in local and global communities with
an unwavering focus on social justice. Our mission is to promote the health and well
being of local and global communities through education, service, and research with
a focus on underserved populations. This mission is achieved by employing a multidimensional
program of study that combines a broad public health base with specific training in
two specialty concentrations: Community Action for Health and Global Health.
We know that we affect the environment, but how does the environment affect us and
our health?
Our attention to environmental health issues is often the result of emergencies:
Zika virus outbreaks; Flint, Michigan's water crisis; Hurricane Katrina. Join us
for a series of 6 lectures by nationally recognized leaders in the field as we expand
our awareness of the ongoing impact of environmental risks on our health through a
lens focused on social justice.
Join us for a series of 6 lectures by nationally recognized leaders in the field as
